Eye of Horus

How Eye of Horus Mechanics Work

Eye of Horus by Reel Time Gaming operates on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 1 to 10 selectable paylines. The game's standout mechanic is the Horus expanding wild, which doesn't just substitute symbols but physically expands to fill the entire reel, creating multiple winning opportunities across all active paylines.

The RTP of 96.31% positions this slot in the favorable range for players. Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels, with only the highest win per line being paid. However, wins on different lines are added together, and scatter wins combine with line wins for total payout calculation.

Free Games Transformation System

The free games feature activates when 3 or more golden Pyramid scatters land anywhere on the reels, awarding 12 free spins. What makes this feature unique is the symbol upgrade mechanism. During free spins, whenever a Horus wild appears, it doesn't just expand and create wins—it permanently upgrades the lowest-value symbol displayed at the top of the screen.

The upgrade sequence follows this order: Card symbols upgrade to Lotus Flowers, Lotus Flowers to Ankhs, Ankhs to Scarabs, Scarabs to Birds, Birds to Anubis, and finally Anubis to the premium Eye of Horus symbol paying 100,000 for five-of-a-kind. This progressive transformation can lead to significant wins, especially in the later free spins when higher-value symbols dominate the reels.

Additionally, landing 1, 2, or 3 Horus symbols during free games awards 1, 3, or 5 extra free spins respectively, allowing the feature to extend considerably with good fortune.

Gamble Feature Strategy

After any win of 0.05 or more, players can choose to gamble their winnings through two methods. The Card Gamble presents a simple red or black choice—guess correctly and double your win. The game displays the previous 6 cards drawn, allowing players to track patterns, though each draw remains independent.

The Ladder Gamble offers an alternative risk mechanism where players climb a ladder of progressively higher values. Each successful gamble advances one step up, but failure drops you to a lower rung. The Collect Half option allows you to secure half your gambled amount while risking the remainder, providing a risk-management middle ground.

The gamble limit is clearly displayed and typically caps at substantial amounts like 1.4 million coins, ensuring that even conservative base game wins can potentially multiply into significant payouts through successful gambling.

Payline Configuration

Eye of Horus uses a color-coded payline system with each of the 10 lines assigned a distinct color: white, orange, yellow, purple, green, red, magenta, bright green, cyan, and dark blue. Lines can be selected individually from 1 to 10, with line 1 running straight across the middle row, line 2 across the top row, and remaining lines forming various zigzag, diagonal, and V-shaped patterns across the grid.

This selectivity allows players to adjust volatility—betting on fewer lines with higher stakes per line, or spreading risk across all 10 lines with smaller individual line bets. The bet range from 100 to 200,000 accommodates both cautious players and high rollers.
